ARBURETUM and CANAL STREET STATION Adventure!!!!

Leslie and I met up in Oneonta to spend a day "out" to celebrate our June birthdays. Knowing this might be our last get together before my move, I was hoping for a special day!

Leslie drove and we went to Esperance to go to the LANDIS ARBORETUM. We hiked some trails and found two geocaches. Here are a couple of pictures.

It is so beautiful here! I would have liked more but we had set a time to meet up with Joseph Merli at CANAL STREET STATION in Duanesburg. He runs a woodworking business and has been setting up an old time village on his property for many years.

Joe gave us a personal tour and let us into the old time hardware/general store,

the 1940's diner and the locomotive. He showed us a couple of VERY old Oldsmobiles that he has restored. He and 2 others drove one of them across the USA several years ago.

He showed us an item he is working on in his shop. It is a gift from him to a celebrity that he is friends with. Leslie and I are sworn to secrecy regarding the item and who it is for.
